If you’re a big fan of hot curried dishes, here’s another good reason to stop by your favorite Indian restaurant this weekend. Tumeric, the herb that gives curry powder it’s yellow tint, could help prevent cancer.

Recent studies have shown how tumeric can stop the growth of certain types of skin and stomach cancers. Furthermore, new studies reveal that tumeric’s disease fighting properties stem from its ability to destroy bacteria. So don’t hold back if you’re in the mood for curried chicken, go ahead and indulge!

Here’s a wrap up of what you may have missed here at Life Retreat this week. Have an awesome weekend!

And, this year marks the 10th birthday of an initiative that has become one of South Africa’s favourite ways to give over the festive season. From a humble 180 shoeboxes donated in its first year, the Santa Shoebox Project has now notched up more than half a million thoughtful shoeboxes. These were donated to underprivileged children across South Africa and Namibia. Click here to find out how to donate.
